Carry the Morning

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You left your blue mug by the sink again A little ring of coffee, a crooked pen The apartment holds the shape of yesterday I fold the quiet up and put it away [Pre-Chorus] I’m learning what the empty rooms can say When nobody is asking me to stay [Chorus] I can carry the morning on my own Take the long way, find my way home There are unfinished pages on the floor But I’m not waiting by the door anymore [Verse 2] The corner shop has changed its window sign The old man knows my order, knows the time I buy two apples, then I laugh at that Small habits take a while to learn to pack [Pre-Chorus] I’m finding little reasons to begin A window open, clean air coming in [Chorus] I can carry the morning on my own Take the long way, find my way home There are unfinished pages on the floor But I’m not waiting by the door anymore [Bridge] If you remember me, remember this: I kept the good parts, let the rest grow still No grand goodbye, no promise carved in stone Just one more step, and then another home [Final Chorus] I can carry the morning on my own Take the long way, find my way home There are unfinished pages on the floor And I’m not waiting by the door anymore I’m not waiting by the door anymore [Outro] The kettle clicks, the room turns bright I close the book and turn out the light
